Well Southampton think the Amex is shit

[les dynam]

It looks like a building site. Walls and metal everywhere and 3 strange looking tiny stands - similar to Colchester's or Shrewsbury's. Very, very unimpressed by it. I know you lot are jizzing everywhere because it's finally somewhere to call home but it's really not anywhere near as good as you claim it to be. Padded seats also makes it very MK Dons like.

whatever. don't bother coming next time then. you won't be missed.

My ground much better than you, my team much better than you. I would have come on and score double hat trick in injury time but I was too busy giving heart transplant to our defender after Greer try kill him.

You lucky capitalist lickspittles, we have good goal not given, I show on Channel Nige that none of your goals go over line, referee he clearly propaganda tool of the west.

You just a small town in Lewes, I great leader, I am Kim Jung Nige.

With a bit of work you could become the best comedy poster since Bhadebenhams

Most modern stadia these days are usually designed with the main stand being the west stand alongside the pitch. This is so the occupants of the main never have the sun in their eyes (and was one of the factors which made me choose my seat there).

Nobody ever has the main stand behind the goal, so setting the West back 30 yards and rotating the pitch at conception would never have been done.

Exactly I mean what ground in the country has a higher stand at an end rather than on the side.................oh hang on didnt The Dell have that? What with their Subutteo extras on the side and that weird terrace behind the goal that used to have more terraces above it until health and safety asked required them to be removed?

not been to st mary's then?

Eh? The only game I've ever left early is Lincoln away in the FA Cup on 8th November 2003z

I seem to remember you leaving Saint Mary's before full time!!

 

[Alex]

Funnily enough I have, and it looks like a football stadium inside. You know full well it doesn't have huge metal walls, bars and f*** knows what else going on. Don't know how to explain it but just like MK Dons, your place didn't have the feel of a football stadium.

trip to specsavers overdue for you then chap, st mary's looks tired dated and done on the cheap IMO - oh and like 3 sides of Home Park so not exactly a unique stadium?

If you had bought a programme yesterday or watched the big screens before KO you should have picked up on the fact that The Amex isn't finished yet - don't know how to explain it other than it is a state of the art football stadium as opposed to a flat pack bowl such as st mary's, the riverside and so on.

You enjoy chomping on those sour grapes though

So will the East stand be three tiered?

mmmm.

It is a lopsided stadium., My point was, at conception, why not back the Big Stand off 30 yards and have the pitch play that way?

Your an idiot. Luckily your not a football stadium architect!

Funnily enough I have, and it looks like a nondescript anonymous sterile bowlinside. You know full well it doesn't have huge metal walls, bars and f*** knows what else going on. Don't know how to explain it but just like MK Dons, your place didn't have the feel of a football stadium.

I've corrected your post for you

This is true but it's not exactly a modern thing, grounds have been laid out like this for over a hundred years.

dont feel like a football stadium, ok then, the shitty saints couldnt play football if it was a matter of life and deaf, yesterday as u got done by a brighton reserve team haha, and you had the worst support we have seen in a while even pompey made more noise at withdean last season so it makes you the smaller club in hampshire

 

[NorthStandN1A]

no surprising comments after being beaten 3-0. Always funny to read the haters from the other clubs.

The SOUTHAMPTON DAILY ECHO, doesn't seem to agree with their views on either the stadium itself, or the atmosphere;

"Any more of this and Brighton v Saints will be the rivalry known as El Classicoast. A fortnight after Southampton - Pompey failed to live up to its pre-match billing, the latest Saints - Brighton installment certainly delivered.

While it was a result Saints could have done without, it was a compelling match played against the backdrop of a terrific atmosphere.

Of course that was helped by Brighton's outstanding new stadium, well populated at the away end by 2,422 from Hampshire.

As well as its aesthetic quality - the stadium is a sight to behold as you arrive on the A27 - its acoustics provided everything that was lacking at the Withdean Stadium - scene of Saints last four visits to Sussex.

Any noise generated there dissapated into the ether, but the state-of-the-art AMEX stadium nestled into the South Downs at Falmer helped create a cauldron of noise."

That will be the view delivered by the underground subversive infidels rather than the Ministry of Information run by Kim Jung Nige and his army of followers happy to weep at the drop of a nuclear warhead.

the amex is highly respected by those who actually know stuff about architecture and is unique.....st mary's looks exactly the same as about 10 other grounds in england and is dull as f***

You type that in jest, but its kind of true - whilst the Echo continues to devote a huge amount of space to all things Saints, they and the club (and Nicola SCORCESE in particular) are uneasy bedfellows.

 

[turienzo's lovechild]

TBH for the cost, £90million, you haven't got your money's worth. I would rather pay the £30million we paid and take the bigger stadium. Which is also being expanded....

a lot of the £90m was spent on a) building it into the downs (due to the fact that brighton doesn't have many large brownfield sites) and b) now this you need to read- the internal stuff that you as a fan, can't see......so how do you know we haven't got our money's worth?!

we have the money thanks to sir tony, and the amex has been built to large levels of critical acclaim in the architecture world......no-one in architecture gives a solitary shit about st. mary's

 

[Poppett63]

Well I think this sums up the motivations, morals and level of intelligence of the management and fans of the two clubs. The Amex is sandwiched between two fantastically vibrant and cultural towns to the East and West and included on the campus of two of the best Universities in the land. St Mary's on the other hand, is the centrepiece of Southampton's whore houses in their vast red light district. I rest my case!

Oh dearie me, The Echo reporter isn't going to be welcomed back to St Mungos any time soon. He'd better read the Scum's own website to get an idea on how to write a proper, balanced report.

 

[Tooting Gull]

Our team just didn't have the feel of a football team.

Again, corrected that one for you. Maybe you'll enjoy it more next time if you don't get battered, keep 11 on the pitch, don't get outsung for 90 minutes, that sort of thing.
